MiX Telematics wins 2017 Brake Fleet Safety Awards

In September of this year, MiX Telematics won Australasia’s Company Driver Safety Award and was highly commended in the Fleet Product Safety category at the prestigious 2017 Brake Fleet Safety Awards held in Auckland, New Zealand. The awards are presented by Brake, the national road safety charity that works to prevent road deaths and injuries while supporting bereaved and injured people from across New Zealand and Australia. With this event, Brake aims to bring recognition to those working hard to reduce the number of road crashes involving at-work drivers and celebrate those implementing best practices in managing road risk. Well done to our Australian team!

The UK business of Carey, a worldwide premium chauffeur services company, required a solution for their fleets due to the increasing risks of more vehicles and drivers on the road, increasing traffic levels and a rise in the cycling population in London. In order to aid Carey in achieving their goal of providing a safer, more efficient service to their customers, they chose the MiX Fleet Manager solution from MiX Telematics, alongside the optional RIBAS Display and MyMiX Driver app. The results were impressive!

On 24 October, MiX Europe hosted its Safety Road Show at the Rockingham Motor Speedway in the United Kingdom. The event’s aim was to promote driver safety amongst MiX customers, journalists and potential new clients. The jam-packed agenda included a variety of expert speakers, live product demos and practical workshops. We were very proud to welcome Allan McNish, former Formula One driver and three-times 24-hours Le Mans winner, at the event to talk about the positive, personal experience he’d had with telematics. Attendees could also compete in a simulator driving challenge alongside Allan McNish for the opportunity to win a once-in-a-lifetime driver experience. Overall, the event was a big success.

With the ELD Mandate deadline looming in the US and organisations continually looking to improve the safety of their fleets, MiX has developed two white papers to help you along the way, for free!

'Why fleets should be looking beyond ELD' explores why fleet operators should not only be focussed on obtaining the right ELD technology, but also a vendor that can continue to offer value long after the deadline.

‘Turning Big Data into Actionable Safety Intelligence’ examines how collecting data about the location, performance, usage and status of vehicles and drivers can help fleet operators obtain meaningful information about their organisations.

Fenatran a great success for MiX

From 16 to 20 October, MiX Brasil participated in Fenatran, an international road cargo transport trade show that takes place every two years in Sao Paulo, Brasil. The event surpassed expectations for MiX and proved to be the main meeting point for the road freight transport sector in Latin America. More than 50,000 visitors were attracted by new technologies, products, services and solutions presented by over 350 global brands. MiX presented its solutions across various verticals and received a lot of positive feedback.
